About Me
About my walls: I make them for myself and I set high standards for my work. XD
My walls must have color, depth, and composition such that I won't get bored looking at them after a while. Therefore I am a relatively slow waller (and perfectionist!) I like to use vectoring and tablet painting together. One of my favorite techniques is using vector masks to give clean edges while painting. See my vector tut for more details. :)
Stuff about me: I've had private art instruction since I was 11, and normal after school art classes before then. This was in traditional art though, and taught by professional artist Dante Rondo. I never took public school art courses. I've had my stuff shown in a restaurant and at a local art gallery in my hometown (at age 15). I attended CSSSA in 2004. In highschool I taught myself how to use photoshop since it was required at an internship I did that makes army training games. I learned a bit of 3Ds Max there too. Whee!
Currently I'm a college student at the University of California San Diego, a Biology Major, and an ICAM (Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts) Minor.
Other misc stuff:
Yes, that's me in my avatar! It all started with a joke my friends made...they said I resemble the Mona Lisa and Trinity from the Matrix, so I first Photoshopped a pic of my head on the Mona Lisa's body (with shocking revelations O_O) and then I posed with some shades on for the heck of it. Later I Photoshopped a signature of me in my "Trinity" pose with added Matrix background effects and colors...and there you have it. It shocked my friends out hahaha. The avatar is a cropped portion of that signature. The Mona Lisa (or Mona Nysha) pic can be found here: http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l58/Nysha88/monalisajillcopy.jpg And the original "Trinsha" signature here: http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l58/Nysha88/jillmatrix3.png

I really really learned a lot from your tut. I'm gonna keep improving my skills!
Have a nice day and look forward to my Christmas wall
mm i'm tentatively gonna see if i can make another wall for around new year's time, for new year's and for v3. >_< i don't have any image that i really want to wall right now though... but when i do start up PS again (and with it NOT crashing >__>) i'll call on your perfectionist eye. 8]
my midterms are over! i just have to prepare for finals. ...what a bleak thought. =__=
I still want to learn a bit about gradients though, maybe I should try looking for tutorials.
studies were hectic... but i\\\'m finally back and beginning a wall XD. Gonna wall this scan... but im a bit stuck... the scan is huge, now i dont know if i should shrink is down to 2560x1600 and then wall or do it on a big rez and then shrink it when im done?anyway... hove you been? when are you gonna wall again?
and i used to rename my files; nothing ever happened back then.
oh well. i shall use this opportunity to figure out how to make a background for it. since i really have no idea how to finish off the wall even if i get the vector done. xD;
*has moved from her little corner to a corner of your userpage to cry*
Oh, I just realized you\'ve added me on your watch list, it\'s really an honor, than I\'ll watch you as well.
Hi!I just fixed some details and submit it, thank you again Jill-Chan, glad that you helped me ^^
